Photos Not Loading.....

[voldermort 11]

I am trying to place a few ads & when trying to upload photos I keep getting timed out......

 

Also all my BoB pages are taking very long to load, is this connected?

Thank goodness it isn't.

There is something wrong with Bob Photo's are not opening on the site.

It took me 3 hours to put up 6 ads :mad: & when trying to view items for sale......you can make a 5 course dinner before any photos show.

Received a bid about an hour ago and still no email from BoB confirming this, so I imagine that not only do they have a problem with uploading of pics, but the email section is also down.

A couple of BoB pals have told me today that they're having problem loading their pics and ads. Someone put it down to the work being done by BoB IT so no doubt it will come right soon. :confused:

can you give us an example of images missing? there has been a slow-down between 2-3pm today, but this was rectified around 3pm. load to our servers has seemingly been higher than normal.

 

BTW: The slowdown as related to a newer faster server, which was not as fast as we hoped. The permanent infrastructure is already in the country and we will deploy it in the data-centre in the next 10 days. We hope that impact to users will be minimal, but it is rather difficult to change the wings/engine of a flying aeroplane. We do most of the maintenance work at some ungodly hour but a case like this afternoon can not be simulated through tests and only when real load hits the servers can we make small adjustments to bring response times to acceptable levels.

the image issue from this afternoon is unrelated. all emails, bidding etc should behave as normal. we just checked our mail-servers and there are no mails stuck - pls let us know if you don't get an confirmation.

 

(I did find that I had general email-problems today through MWEB and Afrihost where emails arrived over 4 hours after they were sent - not sure if there is another SEACOM/Internet Solutions issue).

As of now still no BoB confirmation and bid came in at 16:35, I have received other emails unrelated to BoB within this time which have come through fine.

I have auctions ending at 6pm so will be able to tell you more re: BoB emails then.

 

Thanks

Are you sure? I just checked all of them, and the images are there.

[voldermort 11]

Ah ha, thank you MacMuffin for your help, they are now all fine.

Pleasure - pls let me know if your email comes right or if this is just an isolated case (sofar it is, as you are the only user having reported an issue and our systems look fine - i.e. no stuck outbound emails).

All the BoB emails are now coming through perfectly, bids received, items sold etc etc.

Thanks once again for your help & have a great evening

the troublesome thing is, that we did not do/fix anything. perhaps just the thought of it makes things happen ;-)

The power of suggestion gave my pc such a fright there was nothing else for it to do but go back into "working" mode

Good idea - I will try this now with my overdrawn bank-account/credit card (perhaps even get the wifey to participate )

Don't forget to PM me if it works, my bank account is also looking a bit bleak

bidorbuy Crazy Wednesday - 1 Rand, No Reserve Auctions

 

Anyone else find lots of pics not showing on the Crazy, or is it just me ?

[donovink 10]

Definitely some kind of problem. Have been loading items most of the evening and all is fine.When I check on all my postings certain items loaded yesterday don't show images but will show if I select "view larger image" What's more odd is that the problem images vary all the time. If I refresh it's the same images but check in half an hour and it's different images.

[Guest MacMuffin]

this has affected wednesday auctions only and we are busy rebuilding the thumbnails - all in all about 50 sellers affected, but as you have noticed, thumbnails are starting to reappear.

 

we are also re-generating all thumbnails to ensure that everything is fine. note, that this does not affect uploaded images - those are still there.

 

Update (31/05 @ 10pm): All thumbnails should be displayed properly - we have regenerated all thumbnails of the last two days.

Thank you, all good on my side now
